Gravitational Waves in Physics and Astrophysics

An artisan's guide

Beschreibung

This book introduces gravitational waves to advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, focusing on what gravitational waves are and how they are produced, as well as how they can be used to learn about astrophysical phenomena and cosmological observations, to investigate the interior of neutron stars, and to test general relativity when black holes and neutron stars collide.
